Bacon Chicken Stirfry Recipes

Steps:

• Make the candied bacon: Cook the bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 10 minutes; remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Pour the drippings into a small bowl and set aside; wipe out the skillet.
• Cook the sugar with 1 teaspoon water in a small saucepan over medium heat, swirling the pan occasionally, until dark amber, about 5 minutes. Stir in the vinegar and star anise; simmer 1 more minute. Stir in the bacon until coated, then spread out in a single layer on a baking sheet to cool; discard the star anise.
• Make the stir-fry: Whisk the eggs with the wine and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a large bowl until frothy. Heat 2 tablespoons of the reserved bacon drippings in the skillet over medium-high heat, swirling to coat. Add the scallions and cook, stirring, until just tender, about 15 seconds.
• Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and tilt to spread evenly. Cook until the edges just start setting, then stir rapidly with a rubber spatula until the eggs are almost set, about 1 more minute. Transfer to a plate and wipe out the skillet.
• Add 1 more tablespoon of the reserved bacon drippings to the skillet, swirling to coat. Add the tomatoes, sprinkle with the sugar and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes start breaking down, about 2 minutes. Add the cornstarch and cook, stirring, until the liquid thickens, 1 minute.
• Fold the scrambled eggs into the tomato mixture. Sprinkle with the candied bacon and more scallions; serve over rice.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove to paper towels; drain, reserving 1 tablespoon drippings. Stir-fry cabbage in drippings until tender, 5-7 minutes. Add garlic powder, salt, mustard and bacon; cook and stir until heated through.

Steps:

• Bring water to a boil in a saucepan. Stir instant white rice into boiling water. Cook rice until softened, about 5 minutes.
• Heat oil in a separate skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken in hot oil until cooked through and no longer pink in the middle, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Fry bacon in a large wok or skillet over medium-high until hot and cooked through but not yet crunchy, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove bacon to a plate lined with paper towels. Drain fat from wok, reserving 1 to 2 tablespoons of drippings in the bottom of the wok. Cut bacon into small pieces.
• Return wok to medium-high heat and heat reserved bacon drippings. Combine rice, chicken, bacon, green onions, and soy sauce in the wok; cook and stir until evenly mixed and hot, 2 to 3 minutes.

Steps:

• Fry the cabbage in a wok with about 1 tbsp hot sunflower oil for a few seconds. Add the bacon and fry for 30 seconds. Tip in the pinenuts, garlic cloves and ginger. Stir fry until lightly browned.
• Tip everything out into a bowl, add another tbsp of oil and the cabbage to the wok and fry over a high heat for 4-5 minutes. Return everything to the wok with a little soy sauce to taste. Serve fresh and hot.

Steps:

• Cook bacon until fat is rendered out, remove with slotted spoon, reserve. Pour off all but 2 Tbsp of bacon fat, keeping the excess in reserve if you wish to use it in the stir frying of the vegetables. Vegetable oil is really better.
• Combine all sauce ingredients in a small bowl, stir until cornstarch is dissolved.
• Pour over vegetables and bacon; cook and stir only until sauce thickens.
• Serve over hot brown rice, or Chinese noodles, topped with additional soy sauce and toasted sesame seeds.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a wok or pan over medium heat and add bacon and chicken.
• Stir-fry a few minutes until lightly cooked.
• Allow to cool 5 minutes and serve in your best china.

Steps:

• Fry bacon until golden in a heavy three-quart casserole. Remove bacon from pan and drain on absorbent paper.
• Dry chicken pieces and brown them well, a few at a time, in the bacon fat in the pan. Remove chicken and set aside. Pour all but one tablespoon of the bacon fat out of the pan.
• Saute the onion in the one tablespoon of bacon fat over low heat until soft but not brown. Add the garlic and saute a few minutes longer. Add the vinegar and deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned particles. Add the cabbage to the pan, cover and cook over very low heat until the cabbage is wilted, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Stir in the wine, thyme, pepper and the bacon. Return the chicken to the pan. Cover and simmer over low heat about 35 minutes, until the chicken is done.
• Arrange the chicken on a serving platter. Arrange the cabbage mixed with bacon alongside or around the chicken, draining it well to leave as much cooking liquid as possible in the pan. Cover to keep warm.
• Briefly boil down the cooking liquid to thicken it slightly. Off heat, swirl in the butter bit by bit. Spoon some of the sauce over the chicken and the rest over the cabbage before serving.
